By the ti he reacted, it was already too late.
Yamato instantly leaped into the air, transforming into a white wolf burning with white flas. As the surging flas engulfed his opponent, they were accompanied by the tearing of countless sharp claws.
*Splatter!*
Once the flas dissipated, that person had already turned into a corpse!
At the sa ti, Yamato's aura surged at this mont, reaching the peak of Guardian Rank!
"So there are actually experience rewards!" Bai Cheng looked at the scene on the arena stage, unable to help feeling a bit surprised.
Liu San's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled completely.
No one expected that killing Employees from other channels in the arena would actually grant experience points.
And Yamato, who had been near exhaustion, had most of his condition restored after achieving the breakthrough.
Since their opponents no longer had any Guardian Rank Employees, Yamato focused mainly on stalling for ti, openly recovering his stamina on the field.
But even if the opponents could see through his intentions at a glance, they had no way to stop him.
Because no one wanted to die imdiately; these Employees were not prepared to face death gallantly.
Furthermore, since the Leaders were each fighting their own battles, who else would pay attention to him besides Yamato's current opponent?
In the following duels, Yamato fought more and more bravely.
Now that his strength had reached the peak of Guardian Rank, combined with his Legendary Level quality, it was no exaggeration to say he was nearly invincible below the King Rank.
His ice abilities also allowed for crowd control, giving him an absolute advantage in one-on-one duels within a fixed area.
Although it wasn't a total steamroll, Yamato defeated his opponents one by one.
Yu Nian waved her fists excitedly, fully imrsed in the match. She had almost beco Yamato's fan, constantly cheering him on.
"This kid is even more impressive than I thought!"
Leng Ningxue analyzed in a low voice, "His ability is almost rogue-like in arena duels... Even Employees stronger than him would eventually be stalled to death."
Bai Cheng smiled slightly. "That's why this experience is aningful."
In the blink of an eye, it was ti for the Round of 16 duels.
Everyone now had imnse confidence in Yamato, even thinking for a mont that his strength alone could help #2 Channel win the championship.
But now, only contestants from 16 top-tier channels remained in the Station, and those who could stay here were certainly no pushovers.
When the next opponent stepped onto the arena stage, Bai Cheng and the others imdiately frowned.
"That guy... is an Immortal-grade Employee!"
It wasn't surprising that a Leader who made it this far would have an Immortal-grade Employee.
After all, one could obtain a gold employee card at most through train rges, and with a heart ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) of immortality, the goal could be achieved.
But generally speaking, Immortal-grade Employees could only be obtained in the mid-to-late stages.
Seeing the opponent in the Round of 16, Bai Cheng was only surprised by their cultivation speed.
Looking at it this way, the opponent must have at least two or more Guardian Rank Employees.
Hearing this, Liu San's brow furrowed, and he broke into a cold sweat for Yamato.
Yu Nian imdiately turned back and asked, "Should we swap players now?"
Liu San remained silent, looking at Yamato's back. The other hadn't sent him any ssage, which ant Yamato still wanted to try this duel.
Before Liu San could answer, Bai Cheng also saw the implication and said, "Let him try. We still have one chance to voluntarily surrender anyway."
This voluntary surrender applied to the contestant themselves; it didn't an #2 Channel would forfeit directly.
That is, if Yamato chose to surrender, he could avoid being killed, but he could no longer continue playing.
With this rule in place, they wouldn't worry too much about their lives even when facing an unbeatable opponent.
"Alright," Yu Nian nodded, but she still urged Liu San, "Rember to remind Yamato to surrender imdiately if anything goes wrong..."
Liu San nodded in silence.
The Round of 16 duel soon began.
Because this opponent was an Immortal-grade Employee, the strength and pressure they displayed from the start were completely different from other opponents.
The opponent's offensive was like a tide, pushing Yamato to the brink several tis.
In contrast, Yamato changed his tactics for this battle. His offensive was equally sharp, carrying an aura of mutual destruction as he constantly traded injuries for injuries.
Soon, Yamato was nearly mortally wounded, and his Immortal-grade opponent was also seriously injured.
Seeing this, both sides were sowhat surprised.
"Is that guy suicidal?"
Naturally, Bai Cheng's group weren't the only ones with a surrender option; everyone in the Round of 16 had one.
Everyone had one chance to surrender.
"Even though our strength is one rank lower than theirs, an Immortal-grade Employee can't take down a Legendary Level Employee? You've got to be kidding !"
"If we keep fighting, given that guy's suicidal style, regardless of whether we win or lose, I'm afraid it will end in mutual destruction!"
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
They weren't afraid of their Employees suffering a crushing defeat; they were afraid the opponent would take them down with him.
No one could accept this outco. They had other Employees who could play; why take the risk?
If an Immortal-grade Employee died... at this mont, they got cold feet.
An Immortal-grade Employee was simply too precious to them.
On Bai Cheng's side, Yu Nian was also extrely anxious.
"Liu San!" she urged. "Make Yamato surrender quickly! He'll die if he keeps fighting!"
Liu San grit his teeth; how could he not see Yamato's current decline on the field?
If they continued, the best outco would be the opponent near death and Yamato sacrificed.
There was no hope of victory at all.
But the key was that Liu San had already signaled Yamato, yet he actually didn't intend to surrender!
"Yamato... he refused to surrender."
Once these words were out, everyone hesitated to speak. Yu Nian swallowed her words, leaving only a sigh.
"Trust him," Bai Cheng said calmly.
Although Employees were subordinates to the Survivors, they were also living, intelligent beings.
They also had their own dignity.
The atmosphere beca sowhat gloomy for a mont, as if Yamato's death was already a foregone conclusion.
This had been personally analyzed by the two King Rank powerhouses, Purple Iris and Blue Bird. They both said Yamato was no match; could a miracle really happen?
In the blink of an eye, Yamato was on the verge of death, but he still forced his body to stand upright.
He unleashed his final attack.
But just as the opponent, dragging their heavily injured body, was about to kill him, that Leader no longer dared to gamble and decisively chose to surrender.
The information on the light screen suddenly changed.
【#6271 Channel has voluntarily surrendered. The first duel goes to #2 Channel!】
【Please have #6271 Channel send out their second contestant within five minutes, or it will be considered a voluntary forfeit!】
Bai Cheng was stunned. "The opponent actually surrendered voluntarily?"
Seeing this, the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily the opponent chickened out..."
"It was Yamato who bluffed them; they were afraid of losing their Immortal-grade Employee."
